One of our loveliest hotels has a selection of Cottages and Villas for the benefit of guests who want a mixture of sanctuary, luxury and privacy…
In the heart of Co Kerry, the five luxury thatched cottages set within the grounds of the 300-acre estate at Sheen Falls Lodge have proved so popular that there is just about time to book them for a fabulous spring break. An exceptional five-night getaway is available from April 6th to April 30th with an exclusive package that offers a five-night stay for the price of three, and features a €200 resort credit per reservation for dining or spa experiences.
Surrounded by the beauty of Sheen Falls Lodge estate and the Caha mountains, the private Cottages and Villas provide a luxurious escape with all the on-the-doorstep benefits of a hotel-curated welcome. Guests of the Cottages and Villas enjoy access to five-star luxury facilities including The Falls Restaurant, The Stables Brasserie & Bar, and Easanna Wellness & Spa.
These luxury Cottages and Villas offer a wide range of amenities, including fully-equipped kitchens, elegant dining spaces, and private outdoor terraces with stunning views of Kenmare Bay. You can choose from five charming thatched cottages, each with its unique character and charm.
Little Hay Cottage, a two bedroom thatched retreat within easy reach of the Lodge, is perfect and peaceful, a luxury retreat for the family, or for two couples travelling together. Little Hay is tucked away behind a private gate, and encircled by an acre of private garden. This pretty cottage is full of creature comforts – a traditional range cooker, wooden beams, bright bay windows, an open fireplace, large dining table, marble en-suite bathrooms, balconies off both bedrooms and a spacious sun lounge that opens out onto your own terrace – all designed for a relaxing and luxurious holiday.
Larger parties can book the nearby Garden Cottage, which can accommodate an additional four guests. Relaxed, intimate and private, it has two bedrooms, and has outstanding views of Kenmare Bay from inside and out. Light-filled and luxurious, large windows and a private terrace make for a fully immersive nature experience.
Marianne’s Cottage brims with the cosiness that a country cottage should do. Nestled in its own lush garden, it has two double or twin bedrooms, sleeping four, and an interior that combines tradition with the best of modern luxury.
Two four bedroom villas, the Bay Villas, are perfect for gathering with family and friends to celebrate special occasions or to create an unforgettable break. Villas can be booked together for a party of eight, or for a gathering of up to 16 people. The interiors are countryside chic with restful colours and rustic touches.
Guests in the Cottages and Villas will no doubt want to sample Sheen Falls Lodge’s famous hospitality. The Sheen Bar, the cosiest corner of Sheen Falls Lodge, features 90 whiskeys, and there’s a wonderful selection of Irish craft beers and cider. Gin lovers will find over 20 to choose from, including 12 Irish styles as well as the hotel’s own delicious house blend which is distilled at the nearby Beara Distillery and infused with verbena and pine botanicals gathered on the estate. A warming Irish coffee after a mountain walk or a classic cocktail to kick-start your evening before dinner in The Falls restaurant. This elegant dining room has magnificent views (and sounds) of the waterfall for which it is named. A tantalising menu features imaginative dishes, delightful service, beautiful artwork by Christine Bowen, and seasonal menus reflecting the richness of Kerry’s bounty: estate-smoked salmon, mountain lamb, organic vegetables, and micro herbs grown on the grounds of Sheen Falls Lodge.
Add to this, archery, clay pigeon shooting, golf, incredible walks and hikes, fishing, spa and a library with an impressive collection of more than 2,000 books, changed every week by the resident librarian, and you have all the advantages of a hotel stay with all the privacy of a uniquely private residence. Who could want more?
